A Taiwanese woman surnamed Jing was unfortunately murdered at the Kawaguchi Lakeside Hotel in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. It was reported that her husband, who was suspected of being a fraud, paid for the murder and swindled the life insurance. Lin Zixiang, a criminal investigation expert in Taiwan and a commissioner of the Crime Prevention Section of the New Taipei City Police Department, said that in criminal psychology, the case was classified as an "instrumental crime", which means that the perpetrator was not motivated by passion or hatred, but calmly and rationally regarded his partner as a tool to achieve economic goals. He called on those who feel that their personal safety is threatened to immediately seek help from relatives and friends and get away from the perpetrator for safety.
Lin Zixiang, a criminal investigation expert, said that the case spanned Taiwan and Japan, but the current facts of the case have emerged. Li Su, the husband of the deceased Jing who had a flash marriage, paid a high amount of insurance money and paid for the murder to defraud the insurance. This is a typical instrumental crime, which usually has three common characteristics and patterns: financial opacity, unequal economic control, and sudden high-value insurance.
Lin Zixiang said that the most obvious sign of financial opacity is that one party has long concealed signs of being a member of a fraudulent syndicate, failed investments, gambled, and borrowed money from underground banks. The second is unequal economic control: one party regards the other party as a "cash machine" or a "debt settlement" tool, rather than a partner. The most obvious sign is "sudden high-cost insurance." He usually has no insurance habit, but suddenly takes out high-cost accident insurance or life insurance for his partner "who is the beneficiary."
Lin Zixiang analyzes prevention methods based on past criminal cases. He can adhere to financial transparency, be wary of dehumanized dialogue, pay attention to sudden accidents, and the last and most important life-saving key is to "go first" and seek help immediately.
Lin Zixiang analyzed that adhering to financial transparency means that before marriage or when the relationship is in-depth, one should have a proper understanding of each other's credit status. If you find that your partner has concealed his income and expenditure for a long time, frequently borrows money from relatives and friends, or has received debt collection calls from unknown underground banks, do not blindly help him to take on the debt.
Be highly vigilant about "dehumanizing" words and deeds. Be sure to pay attention to whether your partner often treats you as a "cash machine" or reveals half-joking and tentative morbidity in his speech such as "if you die, I will have money." You should be alert.
Pay special attention to sudden "accidents". When your partner is suddenly keen on buying high-cost accident insurance for you recently, and "near-miss accidents" begin to appear inexplicably in your life (such as slipping in the bathroom, abnormal vehicle braking, ingestion of unknown drugs), you must be alert to the highest level.
The most critical and important point is that when you feel that your personal safety is threatened, you must take the best option and immediately seek help from relatives and friends, call the police, or dial 113 protection hotline, 110, and call the police for assistance as much as possible, provide second opinions, and escape immediately, which can minimize the harm.
